[debm55]

9. But theye are called elephant ears--no go from me. What do you think??????

[Walleye]

10. I first encountered them homemade sold from a basket in Panama

About 60 years ago when I was in summer school there. Staying with a family. They were sold in the schoolyard at lunchtime for a nickel apiece. I had never seen them before, they were called orejas

Lets face it; everything anyone eats ends up feces.

11. There are vegan ones available, so why not?

OTOH, for those that are "animal" protective, wouldn't it be just a little hypocritical to cruelly chomp down and rip through a box that represents in shape that which one wouldn't eat by choice?

Naked and Afraid actually had a vegetarian woman on one of their episodes, and they ate mostly weird hunted animal, fish, or reptile flesh and maybe even considered some insect protein (termites?). She never really had enough foraged plant-based foods, nuts or berries in that location, but the length of their stay was fairly short. Think she didn't have to drop out, but she lost a lot of weight and for a time cured symptoms of dehydration just in time...

12. Would the vegan animal crackers be in the shape of an animal?

[Backseat Driver]

13. Yes, they are animal-shaped. type it in on amazon, hehehe n/t

[debm55]

14. But if they are in the form of an animal, I would say no. Ingredients are important but the shape

would bother me.

15. leading in a (more or less) straight line

to 'Chocolate Jesus' - which I think should definitely give pause. No?

But then - Tom Waits himself ...
questionable at best ..

16. Another animal cracker conundrum:

If you give a dog an animal cracker shaped like a dog are you encouraging cookie cannibalism?

[debm55]

17. Something to ponder, there. What if you ate an elephant animal cracker? How long would you have to

eat again?

18. Should a recovering alcoholic

drink root beer?

[debm55]

19. Let me think about it.

[debm55]

20. Yes, a recovering alcoholic can drink Root Beer, that is different from having the cookies in

the shapes of animal.
